everything.This morning too, we were talking nicely, and then he suddenly started laughing and said I was easy to coax, and then he started bullying me.Everyone said that the bamboo bed creaked a lot,...The child's name

"This should make Mu Wanchen think, right" I couldn't help but chuckle. "I wonder what kind of name he'll come up with."

Lian Long nodded and said, "This subordinate is also very much looking forward to it."

I sat here for a while, waiting for Mu Wanchen to finish speaking with the elders before he hurriedly took me away.

In a fleeting moment, an instant spans ten thousand miles.

I dashed to the gate of the Wuzhangcheng like I was in a race, and just happened to meet a helicopter flying overhead. It turned out Lin Yanhuan was personally escorting the goods over.

I was a little surprised that Mr. Lin, with his valuable time, would take this matter so seriously and have to be present himself.

“Um, Mr. Lin's little sister gave birth, don't you want to go see her” I cautiously probed.

Lin Yanhuan gently curled her lips into a smile. "I know, another boy was born. I'll go visit her later—she has her husband by her side, so I don't have to worry."

"Well, I was just saying, with your schedule so packed, you don't have to do everything yourself. You could just assign this delivery task to a capable person..."

Lin Yanhuan smiled and took out a photo from his inner pocket, handing it over and asking, "Since I ran into you, I have something to ask. Do you remember anything in this picture"

I took it and looked, the photo was a little blurry, seemed to be taken at night, or with an automatic flash.

Above is a pile of clothes and jewelry, a bit messy but looking very familiar.

"This... is there a problem" I asked cautiously.

"Do the clothing and ornaments on this person resemble those worn by practitioners of this sect" he asked.

"What Do you suspect someone escaped through the Dharma Gate" I frowned.

He smiled and nodded. "These clothes were found in a car that left here some time ago."

"This area has always been a gathering place for ethnic minorities, so seeing people in traditional attire is not unusual." I replied.

Lin Yan smiled calmly: “National costumes are not strange, but I sent these clothes and jewelry to experts. They found that the embroidery technique was very rare, almost lost, and even today's artisans can't do it...Furthermore, through research, it is determined that these ornaments are very old, and I suspect they belong to the residents of the Famen Gate who have lost them.”

"Uh...it's certainly possible." A bad feeling was starting to creep over me.

"Not to mention anything else, just this phoenix crown headdress, the lines are simple and ancient. Although not gorgeous, it's all made of real gold and jewels, and the one in its mouth is still a night pearl... This isn't craftsmanship that should exist today at all."

My heart skipped a beat. This was over. This had to be from the Si Clan—most likely from Si Huang!

"I made two assumptions: first, someone escaped the gate, and second, someone infiltrated the gate to steal valuable items. Either assumption means one thing—the secret here can't be kept hidden." Lin Yanhuan put the photo away.

"Miss Yin, I have a suggestion for you privately—"

He had his hands in his pockets, and his hair was slightly tousled by the mountain wind.

"Either completely destroy these so-called methods, have the state protect the ruins here, with the people scattered and relocated to resettlement areas, accepting certain limitations and supervision, with the state providing for their food, shelter, transportation; or..."

He paused.

"What is it" I gasped.

He frowned slightly and said to me in a low voice, "Then, repair these so-called methods thoroughly and hide from the world, never appear again!"

I want to too!

But the fundamental principle of Buddhism has been destroyed.

The essence of life cannot be gathered and is fundamentally irreparable!

Lin Yanhuan looked at my expression, knowingly nodded, and whispered, "Perhaps... letting go completely is a good way."

"The trend is unstoppable, one person's effort cannot reverse the tide..."

I understand the logic, but what about reason

How do I convince Mu Wanchen to give up all of this

Mountains and rivers, trees and flowers are all fine.

Regardless of whether there are any methods, the river water still flows eastward, and flowers bloom and wither as seasons come and go.

But what about the spirits Are those guiling strange beasts to be sent to a zoo Will the secrets of the mausoleum and the clan's treasures all be confiscated

Give up, it's too hard.

Don't even mention Mu Wanchen, the thought of giving up makes me feel like I'm burying everything I have.

Mentally, I can't get past this hurdle.

I can't find the words to persuade him, how could I

Let Mu Wanchen just ignore everything and walk away, leaving me to hide in a corner of the mundane world and live my own little life

Can he let it go

If all this were to be destroyed - his home, his ancestors, his people, all living beings - how could he possibly find peace for the rest of his life

At the thought of this, my chest felt tight and constricted.

Even standing by the wide river, the biting wind couldn't dispel the sorrow in my heart.

"...King, Queen..." A faint voice came from behind. I turned my head and saw a young man holding a food box.

I slightly relaxed my brow, and he hastily said, "I apologize for the disturbance, but I was worried about catching a cold from the wind, so..."

"Don't talk about adults and children, I can't stand it." I looked at the food box in his hand, and he hurriedly opened it for me to see.

It turned out to be rice, meat, and some shiitake mushrooms.

"Give me this Isn't that too extravagant" I asked, frowning.

“Ah… this little one thought you disliked it. Since you’re pregnant, you shouldn’t eat porridge with us… Now that things have calmed down a bit, as long as there’s a place to live and medicine, everyone won’t be so panicked.” He explained to me.

I wasn't in the mood to talk much, so I just nodded. However, that young man didn't dare come near me.

I stared at him, puzzled. He looked terrified and spoke in a hushed voice: "I heard you have gu spirit guards around you, so I dared not bother you. I... I'll just stay here. You eat while it's hot..."

He set the lunchbox down on the boulder, bowed to me, and then vanished.

I don't really have the appetite to eat. Maybe it's due to the changes in taste during early pregnancy, I feel like wanting to eat everything, but when it's put in front of me, I lose my appetite again.

This young man has good taste. I glanced at Xuan Yue and Bai Ni, who were lying under the giant stone beside me. Xuan Yue couldn't help but paw at the lid of the food box, so I simply opened it for her to eat.

I've never seen Bai Ni eat anything — of course, watching a giant snake eat is pretty terrifying, so it's probably best not to.

"Bai Ni, you guys have lived for so long, how do you spend your time" I asked boredly.

Bai Ni lazily glanced at me, lowered her head and continued to "sleep," probably spending most of her time sleeping.

"Where's Mu Wanchen Is he spending his time like this too" I asked.

Bai Ni raised her neck and turned her head upstream towards the direction of Wu Wang City, which was located on Mount Wu Wang.

Perhaps Mu Wanchen spent most of his time standing on that cliff, gazing down at the rushing river and the ever-changing clouds.

Here is the edge where the formation was broken. We set up camp here for convenience in transporting supplies. Sitting here, I can see the charred forest in the distance. Perhaps Master destroyed the Corpse Cultivator village right around here...

My mind was wandering aimlessly, and as I glanced down at the shallow water at my feet, I noticed that its color was unusual.

How come... it's a little bit blackt first, these little witches hid the news of Old Madam Ma’s death, but later, they couldn't keep it in any longer. By then, the internal power transfer was already complete. Xi Lingzhou, as a capable...
